The speed of sound in any medium is directly proportional to the elasticity of the medium. For solids it has a direct relation with the bulk modulus of elasticity. As diamond is one of the hardest solids, its bulk modulus is among the highest.
Compression waves in diamond are not slowed as much because it is so much less compressible than gases, liquids, or less-dense solids.

The speed of sound in diamond is approximately 12,000 meters per second. Diamond is known for its high acoustic velocity due to its strong atomic bonding structure.

Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
How is the speed of light and speed of sound related?
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
What mach is the speed of light?
The question has no sensible answer: the Mach number is the speed of an object in a medium compared to the speed of sound in the same medium. Light, and other electromagnetic radiation travel fastest in vacuum. Since sound cannot travel in vacuum its speed in vacuum is 0 and so the Mach number for light requires division by zero - which is undefined.The Mach number for light travelling in air is approx 873,300. In water, it is 202,000 and in diamond it is only 10,400.
Which is faster the speed of sound or the speed of air?
The speed of sound depends on the air factors around it
Why is the speed of sound in air faster than the speed of sound in solid?
its not
Is the speed of sound in a solid the same as the speed of sound in water?
No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
What is the speed of sound at NTP?
what is the speed of sound in ntp
When was The Sound of Speed created?
The Sound of Speed was created in 1988.
What happens to speed of sound in air when sound get louder?
The loudness of the sound has no effect on its speed.
How is the speed of light and speed of sound related?
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in other materials?
As a rule the speed of sound increases with increasing density of the medium.

The sound travels at the speed of light to your ear?
No, not quite. The sound travels at the speed of sound to your ear.
Are farts faster than the speed of sound?
the sound travels at the speed of sound, but the gasses dont
Do speed and them have the same vowel sound?
No, "speed" and "them" do not have the same vowel sound. In "speed," the vowel sound is /iː/, whereas in "them," the vowel sound is /ɛ/.
Which is faster the speed of sound or the speed of air?
The speed of sound depends on the air factors around it
